A remarkable New Zealander, a remarkable legacy.

Spread over 90 hectares in rolling Hawke's Bay hill country north of Napier and overlooking picturesque Lake Tutira, is Guthrie-Smith. Situated on what remains of the huge sheep station made famous by naturalist, author and farmer Herbert Guthrie-Smith, is an Arboretum and Education Centre.
